the short stories in "I, robot" weren't a celebration or testament to the greatness of the three rules. they were a demonstration of what could go wrong despite them.

srsly? you're dissing on Linux because "7zip" and "default parameters" ??? how did this post ever even make it to slashdot?

... these "researchers" have never met a toddler.

and the other half the time it doesn't compile at all.

there are 3600+ species of mosquitos. only 300-400 species actually bite humans. only 100-150 species carry human diseases. we don't need to get rid of ALL mosquitos, just the fraction that carry human diseases. go slowly. get the worst ones first. check to see if other species or even other insects fill in the vacated ecological niches. if that goes well, then we can kill off the annoying ones.

please, nobody tell them about livejournal or myspace...

the current crop of LLMs can "write code" the same way a 5 year old can write a novel. when a human today says "AI can write code", there is a 100% chance that that human can NOT write code. there's WAY MORE to "writing code" than throwing down something that looks syntactically correct. Pichai says "25% of new code at [Google] is AI-generated, though still reviewed by engineers." call me when human "review" is no longer necessary. when it compiles without errors. and does what it is supposed to do. then i will say that "AI can write code"

sure, but first they'd have to learn how to actually write code.

why is this a thing? AI can't write code. no matter how much people who can't write code tell you it can...

just because a language is bad and confusing, doesn't mean it is popular. welcome to python, where you can't cut&paste examples because your whitespace will get mangled, and none of your variable name typos flag any errors.

isn't this what we want? for both strategic and environmental reasons? it shouldn't be surprising that this is the direction we're headed.

yep. even slashdot shilling for the big McD's. "News for nerds. Stuff that matters."

pastebin of guy trying to get it to write some code to draw an arc, the results are laughable. https://pastebin.com/raw/BUhPN...
